I'm
very much interested in issues
about feminism. I don't have
a specific term. Let me explain
briefly. I've read some articles
about women's self-image being
not good as they think they
are not slim and beautiful enough.
I'd like to do a project on
this issue. Are women socialized
to have this value that they
have to be beautiful and slim
or are there any other reasons
to explain why a lot of women
are "willing" to spend a lot
of time and money buying cosmetics
and clothes, going to fitness
centre, and so on. It seems
that they are not forced to
do so. Would you please suggest
some websites or articles or
any other information about
this topic or issue? Thank you
very much! Yours faithfully,
Queenie
